A statement once made by former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has resurfaced online after activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, reechoed it via his X account (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
The remark, which dates back to Jonathan’s time in office, has sparked fresh conversations about governance, freedom of expression, and Nigeria’s political trajectory.
“I am the most abused and insulted President in the world, but when I leave office, you will all remember me for the total freedom you enjoyed under my government,” the former president had said.
Farotimi’s repost of the quote — captioned simply, “Prophet GEJ” — quickly drew widespread engagement across social media platforms.
One user reacted, “He saw it coming, most people didn’t. The story of APC selling a lie to Nigerians, some of their members now shamelessly gloat about and call it ‘politics.’”
Another commenter wrote, “Those who praised America during the Chibok girls saga are the ones now crying?” while a third added, “He really understood this country and its intricacies.”
Another user questioned and said, “Did we really enjoy total freedom?”
